trying nobara on my old origin PC laptop. It's not really that old, but Microsoft thinks it a quad core system with over 1TB of SSD, and 32GB of ram can't run win11 because it lacks a TPM, so now it gets to become my Linux playground before I commit to LInux on my primary desktop. I really hope this goes well.

That was a really stupid idea.

I received an email earlier this week from EA asking if I wanted to be added to a public acknowledgement page they were creating for individuals who responsibly disclosed vulnerabilities to them.

For all the shit people give EA, of the 100+ companies I contacted in the last two years, they were the only company I would say had a decent incident response.

They fixed the issue within 12 hours after validating it as critical, and proactively provided me multiple updates over time.

When the IR was done on their side, they reached out again with some more information about the potential impact if the issue hadn't been solved quickly, and also offered me a reward.

I did not have to keep chasing anyone for updates, I wasn't asked for non-disclosure, or offered money in exchange for it, and people replied instead of ignoring me.

I wasn't blamed for their mistake, either, or reported to the authorities.

Unfortunately, at least one or multiple of the things mentioned above are present in most of my other incidents reported; it's a real shit show out there.

A programming fact that still amazes me is that the HTTP header which containers the referring url is called "referer", because the developer spelt "referrer" wrong and the spell checker didn't catch it, so it made it into the official standards and they just never changed it lmao

My take: clothes are to be used until they rip apart.

@goncalor Which only takes about a month or so with that crap from Shein and Temu.

I know people who shop there and can understand their choice, since they're on minimum wages or social welfare. Countries should also make sure minimum wages and social welfare are enough to live on.

@goncalor No, until you cannot fix them any more. And then after you cannot use them any more as polishing cloth you recycle them.
